// curry: Converts a function to its curried form, allowing for partial application.
// pipe: Runs functions from left to right, passing the result of one to the next.
// compose: Runs functions from right to left, passing the result of one to the next.
// identity: Returns whatever you give it as is. Useful for composition...sometimes.
// match: Creates a curried function to match a regular expression in a string.
// replace: Creates a curried function to replace parts of a string, based on a regex or substring.
// filter: Curried array filtering by a predicate function.
// map: Curried array mapping.
// deepMap: Curried recursive mapping for nested arrays or matrices, of any shape.
